Think at the time there were nearly as many people getting in free as we’re paying ,so crowds looked decent but I don’t think he had much idea how to run a RL club . Remember it well getting hoodwinked like a lot of fans to a meeting at cedar court for some great news , I was in the second wave to be told of a share scheme or the likes , total spin . But the best of all was the Pearman debacle ,who ride into town like a knight in shining armour throwing his false money and promises about like confetti . A team of superstars were assembled and then the inevitable cheques started to bounce and the rest is history as they say . Could only happen to Wakey |

The famous Ceder Court meeting, remember massive queue to get in for the biggest meeting in the clubs history. Rumour going around was Parkin was there to announce he bought the club someone even pointed what was supposedly his car in the car park .

So what was the agenda / outcomes for the cedar court meeting? I’m curious. |

Glovers biggest mistake was entrusting the running of the club to James Elston. |

Considering how well things went during that 1st season I don't think we ever really recovered from the Pearman debacle during season 2.

Still a sore point with players even after all these years which is quite understandable really |

| Quote: vastman "Bit of both.
I have been told more or less that some new money is coming. I haven’t been told how much.
Given the position we are in, which is near certain relegation. At least on League position I can’t see the need for millions straight away, though it would be nice. I don’t think you’d find many willing to invest huge sums right now.
What makes me laugh, and I suspect you and the smarter posters on here have worked this out. Despite what the trolls say Carter still pumps large amounts of cash into the club. When he leaves that will stop! These haters just don’t seem to get this. The financial hole will be enormous.
If we can find another MC to plug that gap in the short term we will have done well.
There is an old saying, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
If it’s any consolation I get no feedback from MC anymore, I’m not sure he likes me all that much. But that doesn’t mean I can’t see what he does and has done, he’s fundamentally saved the club. So much so that after 25 years of flirting with relegation at least if it happens this time we can survive - it was a death sentence until the last two seasons.'"
Cool story bro, shame it’s not true! |

Yes, couldn't agree more regarding this.
I was gobsmacked when I saw numbers of free tickets.
The discounted season tickets too, though I got the logic why it was done, the prices were set way too low. |

Well the supporters were made to pay after they left and continue to do so. |

At that time I remember approaching the turnstiles when Cas were playing and a bloke had a wad of complimentary tickets for sale. I remember saying I could get In cheaper and he knocked another fiver off. I heard later that the complimentary tickets were so basic hundreds were being photocopied and sold. |
